This is why a lot of people think roadies are A Holes.

Well this is no knock to Lynskey as I know times are tough these days and you got to be creative and sell anyways you can to survive. I was just surprised to see it at Performance who isn't really geared towards the hi-end market. If it showed up something other than Nashbar or Performance I wouldn't be as surprise!

Actually this ^^^^ makes roadies aholes
Why is the OP an Ahole for having an opinion, especially when he went out of his way to say he was not trying to knock Lynskey.
I own a R220 Lynskey and quite truthfully I wish they (Lynskey) were not forced to go main stream. If I wanted a Trek I would have bought one. The average Joe has never even heard of Litespeed, never mind the new company.
Does the fact that Lynskey frames are now being sold at Performance cause my bike to ride differently?? The obvious answer is no. Many people want to own something a bit different, others could not care less, in the end they all work(most anyway).
